2024-10-02, 16:30–17:15, Maria Theresia Seminar room (Conference Center Laxenburg)
Integrity of natural ecosystems is one of the main concerns of current European and Global Green Policies, e.g., the European Green Deal. Public administration managers need reliable and long-term information for a better monitoring of the ecosystems and climate evolution and inform decision makers. Data Spaces are intended to become the EC comprehensive solution to integrate data from different sources with the aim to generate and provide a more ready to use knowledge on climate change, circular economy, pollution, biodiversity, and deforestation. This workshop aims to discuss pros and cons of some technological solutions in terms of Data Spaces, OGC standards, semantic descriptions, datacubes, FAIR principles and sovereignty of data. It also intends to share lessons learned from main EC projects dealing with the topic: AD4GD, GREAT, B-cubed, Fairicube, etc.
